About Nancy
Curriculum Vitae
She is one of a handful of women in the world to win Communication Arts Magazine - Award of Excellence in Photography 3 or more times. Communication Arts is the venerable 66-year-old international authority of creative distinction. Communication Arts is THE professional competition for designers, art directors, design firms, corporate design departments, agencies, and related professions. To win an Award for Excellence in any of these categories is somewhat equivalent to winning an Academy Award. CA's Award of Excellence is one of the most-coveted awards in the industry. If chosen, winning places you in the highest ranks of your profession. As a point of reference, National Geographic is often a contestant for this award.
Nancy’s work has also been twice recognized in Creative Quarterly Magazine. In 2015, she was listed with Charleston’s Gibbes Museum of Art - Society 1858 as a Southern Artist whose work contributes to a new understanding of art in the South.
Nancy is also an independent Photographer and Writer. For many years, she has specialized in non-verbal communication, and in marketing to women. Prior to turning pro, Nancy was a commercial make-up artist working with fashion and editorial shoots for other photographers.

Fun Factoid:
Back in the day, Nancy was key make-up and she acted in an Independent film. The script was based on a modern day Jesus who had been raised in the current American culture from birth.

The Film, titled, “s o n · o f · m a n” opened at the 2002 Atlanta Film and Video Festival and was honored for its special artistic value at the 2003 Philadelphia International Short Film Festival.
